On behalf of my parents Retired Reverend Rei Lahui-Ako, my mother, Kari, and my family, I would like to take this opportunity to convey our heartfelt sorrow and condolences to
Reverand Allan Nafuki and his family, for the loss of their beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Mrs Idau Arua.
Rev. Nafuki of Vanuatu and late Idau Arua of Hanuabada, met during their time as students at the Rarongo Theological College in the 1970s, during the same time my parents had heed God’s call too, to train there as his messengers. Both met, fell in love, and got married…with the good Reverand bringing his bride home to Vanuatu to live.
It is always a tragedy to die in a foreign land…however, the late Idau chose to follow her husband to his country to share his life there. That ended a couple of days ago, after nearly more than 30 years of love, laughter, hardships, trials and tribulations … when God All Mighty called her to be with HIM forever.
